  • And yet (at least from an outsider perspective) libertarians are closer to democrats than republicans

    Republicans seem all about telling you what you can and can’t do (can’t get hrt, can’t get an abortion, can’t smoke weed, must marry and have children etc.) whereas both democrats and libertarians are largely “just live your life” but that could just be because all the american parties seem so financially right wing that they’re basically the same in that respect





  • The reason they have to manipulate the audience is because people look for validation and so feel good when other people react to things in the same way as them. If another equally funny show has a laugh track and you don’t, yours will likely be less enjoyable to watch unless it’s a specific form of humour which benefits from not having a laugh track.

    Basically a laugh track can’t save a terrible show, but it can manipulate people into finding a mediocre show more enjoyable to watch, but a mediocre show will make people laugh organically at least a few times anyway.




  • it’s very rare in any language, complexity at the start is not uncommon, but complexity at the end is, also the ordering of the consonant types and the fact there’s two fricatives in a row at the end, it’s not just a word that not only has no place existing, but also one that should be so unstable it’d change to something less complex in decades at most, yet it’s stayed pretty consistent for a while

    It’s also actually 4 consonants as there’s an unwritten k in many accents, or ng is pronounced as ŋg in others, so stɹɛŋ(k|g|∅)θs






  • more science facts, if you were to put earth as close as you could to saturn without them destroying each other, they would orbit each other as a binary planet rather than earth being a satellite of saturn

    essentially there’s no way for earth to stably orbit saturn as it’d have to be so close it’d be ripped apart


  • Liberalism is just letting people do what they want so long as it doesn’t interfere with letting people doing what they want

    Support gay marriage? That’s liberal.

    Support corporations paying people 30¢ per hour for 18h workdays? That’s liberal.

    Support people having access to HRT and abortions? That’s liberal.

    Support people owning guns? That’s liberal.

    Support unrestricted immigration and trade? That’s liberal.

    The problem is it doesn’t fit in with the US definition of “left” and “right” - it’s economically far right but socially far left, and most Americans just cannot understand that






  • Yeah even gpt4o couldn’t keep track of encounters, run battles etc. in my case…

    I think if you wanted to do it mechanically consistently you’d probably need to integrate it into a vtt where you give it context and potentially fine-tune it to give quest related summaries & gming rather than just “stuff”
